Flood Risk Management Plans are required under the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and are updated every 6 years. The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 requires the relevant responsible authorities to work together to produce a co-ordinated "Local Flood Risk Management Plan" to reduce the overall risk of flooding from all types of sources. The Local Flood Risk Management Plan (the Plan) for the North East Local Plan District has been designed to ensure effort to reduce flood risk in this catchment area is coordinated.
The content of the Plan has been produced by Aberdeenshire Council as the Lead Local Authority for this LPD, in agreement with the designated Responsible Authorities, that are listed below:
- Aberdeenshire Council
- Aberdeen City Council
- The Moray Council
- Scottish Water;
- SEPA;
- Forestry Commission Scotland; and
- Cairngorms National Park Authority
